Back to Black

Hiya guys! I'm excited to bring you all a new outfit post today as it was so lovely and spring like yesterday, I managed to grab a little bit of time to get out and do some photos! I have been meaning to blog about this dress for aggess as it's been a fave for a few nights out recently! The lovely people at Bravesoul sent it over to me and it's bodycon fit in a peplum style is so flattering and comfortable if ever I get stuck with what to wear, I know it's always a good'un to pop on! The gold stud detailing around the neckline also adds a nice bit of pezazz to the dress so as far as LBD's go, I'm a big fan!

Here I've gone for a bit of a black on black look and worn it with my River Island faux leather sleeve blazer, H&M bowler and Platform Wedge heels from New Look. I saw this blazer just before Christmas in River Island and it was one of things I just had to have. I've loved wearing it with jeans to dresses as it's so easy to dress up or dress down! Make-up wise I added a dash of my new Maybelline Coloursensational lipstick in Fuchsia Flash for a bit of a colour pop to break up the outfit!

London Fashion Week SS'13: What I Wore

Hey Mixbagers! After my last street style post I thought I would do a feature on what I wore down to the cobbled streets of Somerset house for fashion week last week! It luckily turned out to be quite a sunny day so I happily wore the beaut Motel Digital Love print shift dress I had been given! MTV babe Lilah Parsons has also been spotted wearing it, so naturally I now feel like I  can claim I have something in common with a famous Chanel model haha! *air high five

Topshop Faux Leather Jacket // Similar here
H&M Black Bowler Hat // £7.99
New Look Chunky Strap Platform Heels // £27.99
Stud Clutch c/o Next // N/A

 I absolutely adore the bright digital print- it's a pretty stand out design with it's mirrored images and mish mash of neon colours and as much as I had a bit of a 'it's fashion week so I've GOT to look fashionable' stress on, I found my classic biker jacket from Topshop and bowler hat from H&M ended up suiting it the most anyway! I have to say with my dress on the train to London I felt like a right bundle of colour amongst all the suits and ties, but hey it was Fashion Week and it's got to be done right?! Shoes-wise I ended up opting for the chunkiest wedge of a platform I have ever worn. My mum was convinced I was going to come home with a broken ankle or something (I'm quite clumsy at the best of times!) but surprisingly I found them quite comfy and I arrived home ankles in tact and all!

Above is a photo of me and two of the other Motel girls Lucia and Holly c/o Motel! You must check out Lucia's blog 'Style Confessional' if you haven't already!

A pic of the entrance and a close up of my exhibition pass! In all honesty I was a bit nervous that I would get turned down mid application for the bloggers pass and have to do a shameful walk away but thankfully it was all absolutely fine!

So here are some snaps of what was in the exhibition rooms! Alongside all the designer showcases, it was a bit of a bloggers hub with laptops everywhere, MAC makeovers and free vitamin waters being dispensed out all over!

Gorgeous Liam Fahy Shoes! I couldn't even pick a pair they were all so amazing! I recommend checking out the website!

Shoe crush on these Liam Fahy dalmatian print wedges!

Sophia Webster Shoes & Bags. So crazy aren't they amazing?!

Topshop NEWGEN area. Each Newgen designer had their own slot machine with an individual pin design you could choose from and keep!

I have a new jewellery designer crush on Le Nereides. A beautiful Parisienne brand who have a right mixture of gorgeous designs!  

I think I can safely say I got Fashion Week fever and was desperate to go back next day! I can't wait to head down to the next season shows now I'm no longer a fashion week newbie I reckon I'll be brave enough haha!

Did any of you go to LFW?
